I typically keep my phone with data off, then turn it on when I need it. This way, my phone only syncs when I'm in wifi. I get great battery. I start with 100% in the morning, then seven hours of light use later and she's at 85%, or 70% if I forget to turn wifi off.
[Vibrant Android Development] aaronb1138:
I've found that Wifi seems to be my biggest battery killer. I set Wifi to disconnect during idle / sleep and found huge battery gains in having Wifi off whenever the screen is off.

Oddly, Wifi seems to connect even faster if it is set to connect / disconnect in sync with the screen state. I spend around 80% of my day near Wifi APs, either at home or at school, so leaving Wifi on all the time really saps battery life. This is especially true at school where it can be switching and relogging into APs as I walk down a hallway or building to building.

To get to the setting, go:

Settings -> Wifi -> (Menu Button) Advanced -> Keep Wifi on during sleep

I leave it set to "Only when plugged in"

I am one of the advocates of buying a pair of spare batteries and a wall charger on eBay though. Under $15 gets 2 batteries and a wall charger. I keep the spare batteries with a few USB memory sticks in an older GPS carrying case in my backpack, so keeping them with me is rather trivial.
[Vibrant Android Development] DR-EVIL23:
This ROM is a battery killer!

its drains the battery like crazy, even after i shut down all power-consuming features..

over night (8 hours) it drained the battery to 50% from fully charged, when 'android System' responsible for ~83% of the consumption.

someone experiencing the same issue? :[

Same problem here, had to switch to another rom because of it.

What's the best ICS rom/kernel combo for battery life?

is Euphoria any better?
[Vibrant Android Development] mrbradeli:
Honestly, I've never had anything past Froyo do me much better. Every Gingerbread and 2.2.1 ROM I've used has drained battery faster than this, and I'm skeptical that any of you have found anything better.
[Vibrant Android Development] DR-EVIL23:
That's the reason why i just ODINed back to Bionix 1.3.1 FishmanMod.

you can just FEEL the difference - a much faster smother and snappier experience than the ICS BS.

it doesn't have the GPS issues at all, and i get a GPS lock in less than a min.

i just can't see the point is staying with ICS. for us, Vibrant users, it does not have a single advantage over Froyo.

ICS just isn't optimized for our Vibrant and probably will never be, that's the the sad truth... :-/
[Vibrant Android Development] Decepticaons:
Supposedly it pulls better quadrant scores, I personally like the look of ICS better, but that's about it lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] DR-EVIL23:
With Passion V13 i got something like 1350 with CPU governor set to 'performance' while with Bionix i usually get 1700-1750. :cool:

its looking like this "[ROM][03-MAR][4.0.3] ICS Passion v13.1 - RC1.1 - No Big Update Yet "

is dead the new one is ?ROM][22-MAR][4.0.3] ICS Euphoria RC2.1 - Enter into new galaxy!
[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
You guys need to try Ice Cream Zenwich, I'm currently on rc1.7 (newest one available). Currently at 18 hours on battery with 62% left. Battery life is MUCH better than Passion, probably even better than my Froyo rom before. It also has more customizations, seems faster, and has more updates than Passion. I was about to go back to froyo but not after I found Zenwich.

I've only been on Zenwich for a couple of days now and haven't messed with the different CPU speeds or governors, so the speeds are at stock for Zenwich.

Utopia is the **** . Good battery and very responsive.
[Vibrant Android Development] papi5120:
Actually the new one is utopia.. euphoria 2.1 is over a month old and its not dead team passion is working on 5 seperate roms (passion, euphoria, ecstasy, utopia,stunner for the gs note, and also there's a port of passion for the I9000)so updates take a while
[Vibrant Android Development] ali4ek:
Exactly. I had 2.2.1 perfectly stable and fast ROM, I flashed ICS, yes, it's slower and is only 1350 or so score vs. as high as 1900 I had with the 2.2.1.

Guess what? I've been on ICS for close to a year and am not planning to go back to 2.2.1.

Glitch Sensor reverse?

After flashing glitch, it appears all of my physical buttons and sensors are reversed... for instance, the home button goes back and the back button go home. Also, up volume lowers the volume, while down on the rocker raises it. Also, Voodoo sound comes up when there isn't anything plugged into the jack, then goes away when I do plug something in. Anyone else have this problem? Know how to fix it?
[Vibrant Android Development] xanvincent:
I really love this version of the ROM so far, but I have an issue that has yet to be fixed since earlier versions.

The bug I have is with the dialpad. When dialing numbers and the like, it is fine and accurate. But for example, when I have to enter my PIN password on voicemail, I always get an error that the wrong numbers were entered but the screen shows that it is correct. This basically means I can't check voicemail...

For example, if my PIN is 7777, I enter it and hear:

"Sorry, 770279 is incorrect, please enter a correct password..."

Or is there a fix for this that I am overlooking? Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] psz01:
If I'm not mistaken this can be fixed by muting the phone when typing on the keypad. Something to do with the other end picking up the number "twice" from having the speaker on.

[Vibrant Android Development] monkeywork:
Hey guys,

Was hoping someone could help me quickly - if I want this phone to go back to stock how can I get it there. I've tried loading up the AOI Toolbox however it can't seem to detect the the USB debugging is turned on for some reason - I never had an issue with it before going to Passion (which is working great - however I'm selling the phone and the buyer wants stock).
[Vibrant Android Development] Vegastouch:
Go to this link below to get the JFD.tar file that you need and the pit file. You need both to accomplish this. Scroll down to where it says 2 links to JFD tar and 2 links to PIT. There are some instructions there as well. Odin files are down farther on this link as well that you will need. Use the latest one but either will work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319802

Here is another video showing how to do the process using Odin. First one is probably best unless you want to watch the little kid one as well...lol.

I think the proper way is to use Odin. You will need to have the Nexus S usb drivers installed for Odin to recognized your phone. Look in the Vibrant Bible for more detailed information. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23635340#post23635340

I assume he has a Vibrant since he posted that in the Vibrant section. Why would he need the Nexus S drivers?
[Vibrant Android Development] papi5120:
When the vibrant is running ics Roms like cm9 or aopk the computer will think its the nexus s so u need the drivers for it to work
[Vibrant Android Development] Vegastouch:
I didnt need them. I was running Passion and odin'ed back to stock without installing any Nexus S drivers. Worked fine.

I was on Passion v10.6 , then installed Passion v13.1. I no longer get blinking buttons on notifications and my lockscreen is unresponsive most of the time when I turn my phone on. I then i have turn the phone off, then back on. Someone on another forum recommended to change the cpu gov to 400, that didnt help.

Any ideas on my issues?

[Vibrant Android Development] PrimeNemesis:
This may be off topic.

Are the Utopia install instructions any different than the ICS to ICS install instructions? I've been thinking about trying it.
[Vibrant Android Development] papi5120:

[Vibrant Android Development] anaragayevafr:
hi i`m a photon user so sorry for stupid question, my friend who uses a vibrant is on miui4 ROM, and i want to flash this ics rom for him. So what i need to do? Factory reset from cwm and done or something else? Please help meeee
[Vibrant Android Development] misfitpierce:
I would assume you should be able to just do the typical ICS to ICS install...

Go to CWM...

Factory Reset/Wipe Cache...

Wipe Cache...

Wipe Dalvik Cache...

Format System...

Install ROM .Zip in CWM...

Should work fine going that route.
[Vibrant Android Development] PrimeNemesis:
Whoa, basically the same and the same are two different creatures. I've bricked two phones and I'd like to avoid killing a third.

Can you be more specific or suggest where I can find instructions?
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Passion

No, he is right. same proceedure. Place ROM on internal SD card, boot into recovery, full wipe (factory reset, dalvik cache, etc...), format system, if coming from Froyo, flash CM7 as first step then without reboot flash new ICS ROM, if coming from another ICS ROM, use Lippols kernel cleaning script then flash ROM, reboot and wait 10 minutes, reboot and set up phone.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] misfitpierce:
Also if you come from FROYO ROM and install CM7 then install this ROM or Utopia directly after CM7 without reboot as recommended and you get a boot loop Do Not Panic... Simply hold the down volume and power if on Gingerbread bootloader until you get into CWM and install the .zip again directly and it will go through. Its caused by a CWM mismatch to the kernel. Just reiterating this for this page for the ones installing now. Have a good day.

Back-up Apps

What's the best back-up app for ICS?

I had trouble reinstalling with Titanium Backup when I switched to Passion 13.1.

Tanks in Advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Passion

I am sure that Titanium Backup is still the easiest way, but if I'm not mistaken there were problems if the low memory fix was part of an ICS ROM. The way around that was to go into Titaium Backup settings> Trouble shooting (I believe)>choose "Follow all symbolic links." At least that fixed it for me. For most of my apps I don't reinstall any user data. I discovered in the new Play market, if you swype to the right on the "My apps" page, there is a record of every single app you've ever downloaded. I'd be happy using that for any apps whose past data I'm not concerned with, but there is no way to tick what you want and have them download automatically. It's a one at a time deal. Maybe Google will address that in an update.

Phone won't power up!

I downloader a GB bootloader as suggested b/c I had the Vahhalla Final Rom on my T959V. I flashed the custom bootloader via Odin which said that it passed. I then disconnected my phone and tried to power it up since the screen was black only to find out that it wouldn't power up. I have flashed my phone via odin many times and never had this problem. I understand that I did this at my own risk like you stated in red on your post. However like everyone else I took this to mean that I should only attempt to do this if I know what I am doing which I do. this is the bootloader that has totally bricked my phone. Vibrant_GB_Mod.tar.md5 which I downloaded from this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?5tcj6sq7z32i5s2. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Unfortunately my phone is out of warranty so there is nothing I can do to remedy this problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] papi5120:
This Rom is for the t959 not the t959v the hardware and software are different...the roms aren't interchangeable
[Vibrant Android Development] sheni7:
Are you referring to the bootloader? If so it was not made clear on the site that it was for the T959 only and not the T959V. This thread is for people that have the vibrant wanting to flash the ICS Passion rom. I know it's possible because I found this like from a Youtube video explaining how to flash your T-Mobile SGS4g with it. http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=do6mTvgfH8Y. Please update the site to warn others who may make this mistake. Thanks for the quick response. Is there any solution to this problem. Sorry I just looked at this bootloader again and it clearly says that it is for a vibrant phone. The name vibrant is in its name. So are you saying that ICS Passion is not for the T959V? If so the guy on Youtube made a fake video because he flash ICS Passion on my model phone. There are also many posts of people that have flashed their phones with it too. Also this forum is for Vibrant users.
[Vibrant Android Development] papi5120:
The two phones look almost the same but are very different.... Passion only works for the vibrant not the sgs 4g. Same goes with the vibrants bootloader

Also I watched the video and that's a vibrant (t959) not the 4g(t959v)
[Vibrant Android Development] misfitpierce:
There is a SGS4G section which has its own ROM's. It is not a good idea to get ROM's from different Variants of phones as they contain different modems etc usually or slight differences in the least or they would be in the same section. All I can say is you can try download mode by doing the volume key holding only as you plug into your pc and it should kick on and pray you can ODIN to stock then find a ROM on the SGS4G section. I wish you the best of luck tho.

Personally I've never experienced a hard brick on a Vibrant myself even when I first started and power shut off pc and left me with Vibrant that just booted to a black screen which was still recoverable. I don't know if the JIG method works for forcing download mode on SGS4G but I'd assume so and you should be able to possibly fix. I have never used a SGS4G and it may differ some tho altho I doubt it but best of luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] sheni7:
I didn't know that T-Mobile had more than one version of my phone. He should have made that clear in the video which he didn't and it should have been made clear on the site too as I am sure that I can't be the only one who has made this fatal mistake.

Thanks for your feedback.
[Vibrant Android Development] Janis:
Titanium Backup works for me on CM9 with Sub-zero kernel. I'm getting fairly close to Froyo battery life with SetCPU scheduling, though I can't imagine why anyone would have a phone with a removable battery and not carry a spare. Peace of mind is an amazing $6 feature.
[Vibrant Android Development] sheni7:
I looked into the JIG method but could find anyone who could confirm that it would work with a completely bricked T959V. I don't want to get my hopes up unless I can find someone who has recovered his phone using this method. So far no one says that they have used it to recover a phone that won't power up. I do appreciate the feedback though.

Weird SD error

Okay I've searched for a fix on this issue and can't find one. Using this rom, the system settings show my external sd, free and used space... music player, video player and photo galleries show all files... but no file manager will navigate to it. Lets say I open up Estrong or OI and touch external sd it navigates to a folder that only shows 1 Android folder, if I click back and scroll down to the sdcard folder i get the same thing. Any idea whats causing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kastro1784:
I was wondering the same thing smdh any fix for this anyone ?
[Vibrant Android Development] woofiegrrl:
Having some odd behavior, thought I'd see if you guys thought it was the ROM before asking elsewhere.

My phone has taken to suddenly deciding it has no battery left and shutting down at random. Then when I plug it in, it has plenty left - 75% or so, depending on how long it's been off charger. The phone behaves entirely as if the battery has died, with "please connect charger" messages and the "!" in the battery icon etc. It then shuts down even though the battery actually has plenty of charge left.

Does this sound like a ROM issue? Battery issue? Something else altogether? Any thoughts welcome. I will post this elsewhere for general suggestions if it doesn't seem to be related to Passion. I'm still on v12, BTW, because I'm lazy. :)

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
You need to navigate to the /emmc folder. That is what the external SD card mounts as in CM7-9. The other mount is on a Sammy ROM. If you absolutely have to have it, there is a script called emmc_to_external_sd, but you will have both /emmc and /system/sdcard. You place the script in your init.d folder and use Scriptmanager to run it at "Boot" and as "Root"
